Think fire safety is only a concern for warehouses or factories? Think again. Every business premises — from cafés to offices — has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk.
What Is a Fire Risk Assessment?
It’s a systematic look at your premises to identify fire hazards, assess risks, and implement controls to protect people.
Who Is Responsible?
If you’re an employer, landlord, or someone in control of a premises (like a facilities manager), you’re legally responsible under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
What Does It Cover?
- Sources of ignition, fuel, and oxygen
- Emergency exits and signage
- Fire alarms and extinguishers
- Training and evacuation procedures
What Happens If You Don’t Do One?
Penalties range from enforcement notices to prosecution — not to mention the risk to life.
